Kara Scott has had a rough day, treading water with a very short stack and never able to get much going. Unfortunately, her day ended just a few minutes ago.
Royal Flush Girls Melyssa Grace (left) and Sunisa Kim watch as Ali Eslami (center) tries to create a chip sculpture to impress them. Day 1 chipleader Robert Keller (right) had a lot more chips to work with, but showed little interest in building anything other than a chip lead.

Klier began the day in 142nd place out of 144 players with just 5,350 in chips. But Klier caught some positive momentum early, and has been consistently among the top 10 chip counts all day.
